The tables on this page classify all the candidates' contributions into one of 13 main sectors - 10 within the business community, one for labor, one for ideological/single-issue groups, and one for "other."

More detailed breakdowns of these broad sectors can be found in the charts that list "top industries" for each candidate.

Historically, the financial sector has consistently been the biggest source of funds in U.S. elections. (View "Totals by Sector Over Time")

The sector profiles of incumbent members of Congress often reflect their committee assignments in Washington. Someone on the agriculture committee, for example, will typically raise much more from farmers and other agricultural interests than the average member of Congress.
